For the second year of the Eucharistic Revival, there will continue to be a period of 30 seconds of silence after the reception of Communion and the reposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle.  
 
At the end of the 30 seconds of silence,  a communal prayer of Thanksgiving will be prayed  based on a reflection by St. Teresa of Avila.
 
“Lord Jesus, having received your most sacred Body and Blood, grant us the grace to become what we receive.  Help us to remember that in the world, you have no body now but ours, no hands, no feet on earth but ours. Ours are the eyes with which you look with compassion on this world, ours are the feet with which you walk to do good, ours are the hands with which you bless the world. Ours are the hands, ours are the feet, ours are the eyes. We are your body.  Make our hearts like unto thine. Amen”

During every Synodal Assembly, consultation of the faithful must be followed by discernment on the part of the bishops chosen for the task, united in the search for a consensus that springs not from worldly logic, but from common obedience to the Spirit of Christ. Attentive to the sensus fidei of the People of God—“which they need to distinguish carefully from the changing currents of public opinion”—the members of the Assembly offer their opinion to the Roman Pontiff so that it can help him in his ministry as universal Pastor of the Church. From this perspective, “the fact that the Synod ordinarily has only a consultative role does not diminish its importance. In the Church the purpose of any collegial body, whether consultative or deliberative, is always the search for truth or the good of the Church. When it is therefore a question involving the faith itself, the consensus ecclesiae is not determined by the tallying of votes, but is the outcome of the working of the Spirit, the soul of the one Church of Christ.” Therefore the vote of the Synod Fathers, “if morally unanimous, has a qualitative ecclesial weight which surpasses the merely formal aspect of the consultative vote.”

The role of the synod is therefore consultative; its task is to provide discernment on the given issues and make proposals to the pope.
I learned that one member, speaking during the free intervention session in the general assembly, explained that “one discerns experiences, not solutions ."
That is a most important clarification in view of the discussion of the many concrete issues mentioned in Modules 2, 3 and 4 of the WORKING DOCUMENT, SOME OF WHICH—LIKE THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE CHURCH, THE POOR, YOUNG PEOPLE, MIGRATION, JUSTICE, WAR AND PEACE, DIVORCED-AND-REMARRIED CATHOLICS, L.G.B.T.Q. PEOPLE AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING—HAVE HIT THE HEADLINES. OTHERS—LIKE ISLANDS DISAPPEARING AS A RESULT OF CLIMATE CHANGE, WITCHCRAFT, POLYGAMY AND PERSECUTION—HAVE HARDLY EVEN BEEN NOTICED. MEMBERS TOLD ME THAT ISSUES CONSIDERED IMPORTANT IN ONE REGION OF THE WORLD MAY NOT BE A PRIORITY IN ANOTHER, AND THIS PRESENTS A CHALLENGE TO THE SYNOD NOT TO OVERLOOK ANY OF THEM.
